Who is Dr. Johnny Chiem?
Dr. Johnny Thanh Chiem is a general dentist at Custerpoint Family Dental in Plano. He brings years of clinical experience across preventive, restorative and cosmetic dentistry, and he describes his approach as gentle and compassionate, with plain explanations of what your X‑rays show.
What kind of dentistry does Dr. Chiem practice?
Dr. Chiem provides comprehensive care, from cleanings and checkups to restorative treatment and advanced cosmetic work.
In practice that means the full run of an adult's dental needs: the exam that catches a problem early, the filling or crown that fixes it, and the cosmetic work that follows once the mouth is healthy.
If you need something outside that range, he will say so plainly and help arrange the right next step.
What is a visit with Dr. Chiem like?
A gentle approach
He works at a pace that keeps you comfortable and checks in before each step, which matters most to patients who arrive nervous.
Attention to detail
Small details are what decide how long a filling or crown lasts.
Open communication
He believes trust grows from comfort and honest conversation, so questions are welcome and nothing is rushed.
Long-term relationships
His goal is to be your dentist for years, which means recommending the treatment you need and not the treatment you do not.
How does Dr. Chiem explain treatment?
With your own images. Every operatory in the Plano office has a screen on the wall, and Dr. Chiem uses it to walk through a panoramic X‑ray tooth by tooth.
You see the shadow of a cavity, the level of the bone around a tooth, or the position of a wisdom tooth, in the same image he is reading. Then you hear what it means and what the options are.
Patients who have had treatment recommended elsewhere often find that walkthrough the most useful part of the visit.
Which tools does Dr. Chiem rely on?
The equipment in the office is shared by both dentists. These are the tools that shape Dr. Chiem's plans.
- 01
Digital X‑rays on a chairside screen
Panoramic and close-up images appear in seconds and are shown to you on the wall screen as they are read.
- 02
Cone-beam CT
When a flat X‑ray is not enough, a low-radiation 3D scan shows bone, nerves and roots in three dimensions.
- 03
iTero digital scanner
Digital impressions replace putty trays for crowns, night guards and aligners, and the scan is ready to design from immediately.
What does Dr. Chiem do outside the office?
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Chiem enjoys spending time with family, staying active and giving back to the local community.
Inside the office, his aim is the same one he has always stated: to help Plano patients enjoy healthy, confident smiles in a welcoming environment.
